Jack Miller has made taken advantage of glorious sunny conditions to make it three out of three by once again topping the time sheets for the third Moto3 free practice session. The Australian's time of 1:26.767, set during a scintillating run of sub 1:27 laps, put him half a second clear of Danny Kent in second. It also put him half a second inside Alex Rins' pole record from last year and two tenths inside Luis Salom's circuit lap record.
Alexis Masbou, Brad Binder and Jakub Kornfeil rounded out the top five some eight tenths shy of Miller's benchmark. Alex Rins had his second crash of the weekend early in the session as the track was left slippery from an overnight storm, Karel Hanika also crashed shortly after. Both riders were unharmed and finished proceedings eleventh and twentieth respectively.

Not-so-Fantastic Fenati
Any news about why Romano only did 2 laps? I only caught a glimpse of his mechanics working on what looked like a bike without an engine right at the end of the online feed... If I were a betting man, I'd say he had engine problems.
